Mercy
Children's Hospital & Clinics

Think of us the way you think of hugs for your kids. We're a must. From our 24/7 Pediatric Emergency Department to our Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), we're here for sniffles and stitches as well as advanced pediatric medicine. In fact, we offer central Iowa's only pediatric cardiology and cardiovascular surgery program. So if you have kids, make sure Mercy is part of your family.
